I was wondering this: what would do if you’re Murray?  Imo, football is so superior and exciting of a sport.  I like baseball but there’s no comparison to a football game.  That said, dude can make a lot more money and save his body a lot of pain.

 

i think I would go baseball but man, it would be a tough decision.

 

 

it is not a tough decision at all.   If you have a choice of playing in the MLB or playing in the NFL if your smart you chose the MLB every single time.  Murray wasn't a 10th round draft pick, he was the 9th pick in the draft.  The A's have already given him $5 million dollars.  High picks like that unless they are total busts tend to sky rocket thru the minor leagues & into the bigs in no time.  From what I heave read of Murray he is a 5 tool guy.  He would have a longer career in baseball, he would more than likely make more money & he would have a better chance to live a normal life from a health standpoint than if he played in the NFL.  I know the NFL is king around this board but come on, the smart choice is playing with the A's.  Especially when he is only 5'10

Is it too soon to do a "Right Josh" victory lap?

 

I mean, it's been a LONG year.

 

It's never too soon, but I can guarantee that if in 3 years Rosen is playing in a Super Bowl and Allen is a backup on John Gruden's team that Yolo will find it and bump it.

I think the Cards should take a QB at the top of the draft. Not for any football reason, but to see if Rosen has a meltdown. That could be fine entertainment.  ?

I agree but I think the Rosen Fan boys would meltdown even more. Lol

The last stop for all Bills QBs

With the reliance on the QB position, why would not they keep both and have them compete?  Trade one away after that 2019 season.

 

 

Because then you'll have the same problems that the Bills had this past year.  No QB gets nearly enough reps to know what's going on.  Likely Rosen with one year experience would win the competition  just like Peterman did here. 

 

I think a big issue with the bill's offense this year was lack of continuity in training camp, both at the QB position and also the o-line.  Every game they were trying to find the right combo, but in the long run, that may have hurt them in developing as a unit.  At QB the receivers didn't get enough practice with any one QB and the QB's themselves didn't get enough time on the field either.

This is correct on all accounts except if you are a 1st round QB.

Because of trade speculation?  I think the Bills should trade Allen for Rodgers.  Let’s start some rumors

 

and there’s zero chance Murray is going number 1

I can't imagine Arizona's GM would be thrilled with the idea.

If Rosen gets traded, he ends up in Denver.  Calling it now. Horseteeth will try to save face before being put out to pasture.

Maybe the Giants.

Why?  If he could re-coup a 1st round pick for Rosen (and possibly even more) it would be a neutral move for him at worst and not reflect poorly on him.  There is a chance that this is the reason they chose Kingsbury to be their head coach in the first place.  It is not a likely move, but certainly not out of the realm of possibility either.

 

There are those out there in NFL circles that believe Rosen had a decent first year given the talent around him and still has plenty of potential. Many on this board want to call him a bust already, but I do not believe that is a universal opinion amongst all 32 teams.

Doesn't he owe the A's the 5 million back if he plays football?  

 

Being the 9th pick, he's likely to, at the very least, be a reserve player on a roster, earning a ton of money over a 20+ year career in baseball.  

 

If he's not great in football, he could be out in a few years.   

 

No doubt playing football is much more fun than baseball (crowds, media attention, etc.) but he'd have to chose baseball I think.  

 

Unless there is any chance he'd try to do both, which seems impossible for a QB.

On Mike and Mike this morning, they speculated that The Cardinals could draft Kyler Murray at #1 overall and trade Rosen if they could get enough for him.  They said the rumor came from Schefter reporting that Kingsbury previously stated he would take Murray #1 if the was in the NFL.

 

if they did it would make them only the second team in the modern era to draft a QB in the first round in back to back years.

The Arizona Cardinals problem wasn't just at QB last year, if they're foolish enough to think that it was then Kingsbury is in a bad situation.

As an A's fan I don't know if he's all that great, I mean his college baseball stats aren't that great IMO. Yet to be honest because he's a risk to not play in the NFL and is undersized (see QB below 6'2") I think no team takes him in Round 1 or if they do it's at the end of the Round in either a trade up or a playoff team taking a chance (see New England).
